Cream Soup Base Mix
*Casserole Sauce Mix*
Ingredients:
2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup instant chicken or beef bouillon
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in an airtight container.
To prepare as a substitute for one can of condensed cream soup in recipes, stir together 1/3 cup mix and 1 1/4 cups water in a saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened.
Yield: equal to 9 cans condensed soup.
A little memo:
* We eat a lot of casseroles in our house... and I frequently run out of cream soup, so it's nice to have this on hand.
*I like to use the low fat versions as well, and guess what? this is fat free!
*I like to use the low fat versions as well, and guess what? this is fat free!
*I hate recipes that call for ingredients that I cannot use up before they go bad. (dry milk?? I live on a dairy farm folks!) Fortunately, my go-to bread machine recipe calls for dry milk too.
*And I never cook it up. It thickens as it bakes in whatever I use it in.
